Elena Belobragina (b. 1995, Sakhalin Island) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Stockholm. She holds a BA in Art History from Stockholm University, combining a deep theoretical foundation with a dynamic artistic practice.

 

The central theme of her art has always been the human body—naked bodies on raw canvases, stripped of identity and personality. Through her practice, which spans both oil painting and video art, Elena invites viewers to connect more deeply with their own senses and emotions, using a figurative style that allows her imagination to guide every line. Her unique oil painting technique enhances this effect, with each drop becoming a burst of energy that vibrates with the essence of existence. 

 

As both a theorist and practitioner, Elena's work delves into the vulnerability and imperfection that define the human experience, reminding us that we are not gods, but inherently imperfect and connected by our shared humanity. In her video art, Elena uses her own body as a medium to convey the full spectrum of emotions, often expressing psychological experiences that she has personally endured. 

 

Her art challenges the unattainable ideals of perfection in society, encouraging viewers to embrace their own imperfections and find strength in vulnerability, recognizing that true wholeness comes from accepting our humanity.
